Give Yourself a Much Needed Vitamin D Boost With These 6 Recipes

Less time outdoors can mean a lack of exposure to sunlight. This can deprive your body of much-needed vitamin D. As vitamin D helps regulate the amount of phosphate and calcium in the body needed to keep bones, muscles, and teeth healthy, we must ensure we get enough of it.

However, even without enough exposure to sunlight, there are a host of alternatives, such as intake of certain foods and supplements, to ensure your blood has adequate levels of vitamin D. Take a look at our recipes below that will give your vitamin D levels a boost!
